Samsung Galaxy 5 Lollipop update issues with new features

I am having various problems with the new update to my phone. Any advice for the issues below is greatly appreciated.

1) Is there a way to get my tabs BACK into Chrome? Having to go to my task manager to get a different tab or close the current one is time consuming and annoying. I want to be able to toggle between tabs and close tabs while I'm in the Chrome application.

2) I use Messages for my text message application. Currently, If I have a message open and I receive another message from that same person, there is no notification. Before the update, I would get a notification of any texts. Unless I exit the message group, I do not get any notification. Is there a setting change that I can apply so I always get notified? This issue has cause me to miss various texts and have delayed responses because I am not actively staring at the phone.

3) Is there a way to override the settings on the Mute sound? Typically, a person will put their phone on mute and set their alarm to wake them up. With the new update, I have to set mute, go to settings, set the interruptions time to 1, 2, 4 or 8 hours. This inevitably ends up with my phone starting to buzz with vibrations well before my alarm is set to go off. I can set alarm to priority, but Mute always cancels all interruptions. Having to go through 4 steps to get my alarm set each night, along with getting vibration notifications is not practical.
